Previously we’ve covered vaginal anatomy and health, getting frisky during that time of the month, reviewed some of the products you can use to deal with your period, and even covered the ending of the menstrual cycle from menopause, but we never actually did a comic ON MENSTRUATION itself! WOOPS. Well, here you go! Better late than never, right? (I’ve found the same is true with periods, too! ;D)

As always, there is SO MUCH more information to learn about menstruation and the menstrual cycle than we have the space to share in a comic, so please do yourself a favor and click through on some’a these links! (Don’t forget to leave a little donation to Scarleteen and Planned Parenthood so they can continue to afford to publicly share their invaluable anatomical information with all of us!)
